I’ve been working on how to run cable outside my house And above ground. So I cut five short pieces of cat6 cable (I’ll run 4 to 6 cables) And stuck them in the 3/4 inch schedule 40 electrical conduit (90°) from Lowe’s and then in the same type of conduit in the 1 inch variety (45°). Would’ve use the same degree elbow but they didn’t have the 90, 1 inch.
Five cables is not going to work in the 3/4 inch conduit — it’s just too tight in real world conditions. You could do it but it would be hard. I’ve read that you shouldn’t have conduit more than 40% full and you shouldn’t have more than 270° of total bend in your run. I will have more degrees of bend that in my total run so I will be installing electrical conduit boxes to break the run up And so I can pull it in segments.
The picture show you probably what you need to know. When I pull mine I will also use the conduit gel to make it easier.
